Nice as an accompaniment to your dinner or as a spread on scones or toast.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
1 bag fresh cranberries
1 cup raw sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp orange zest (optional)
Place in sauce pan on medium heat. Stir occasionally, scraping sides each time. Lower/raise heat if necessary to keep a constant low boil.
Cooks down in about an hour, to a very thick consistency.
Serve warm or cold.
*I use my bread machine on "jam" setting to make this.*
